Vegan Creamy Rajas

I have been making these Vegan Creamy Rajas for awhile now and I couldn’t believe that I haven’t shared the recipe on the blog!

These Vegan Creamy Rajas are a dairy-free version of traditional Mexican rajas con crema. Rajas just means pepper strips. Poblano peppers are traditionally used in rajas con crema. You can now easily find poblano peppers in your local grocery store.

The recipe starts by roasting the poblano peppers over an open flame or comal. Once the peppers have roasted, they need to sweat before peeling them. The peeled peppers get cut into strips and then are sautéed with onion and corn.

For the creamy part of the Vegan Creamy Rajas, I used my basic Mexican Cashew Crema; a staple in my kitchen. You won’t need to whole batch for the recipe but it can be used in so many different ways.

My favorite was to serve these Vegan Creamy Rajas with corn tortillas. The rajas make a delicious taco filling. You could also serve these along side some rice and beans.
